Perfect Temperature for Pulled Pork
The best temperature for pulling pork is between 200-205 degrees Fahrenheit. Although you can eat pork at a lower temperature, this temperature range is best for shredding the pork apart. Cooking to this temperature allows the connective tissues to break apart, creating the perfectly shred-able pork. Remove from the Crock Pot and let the meat rest to retain more of the juices inside of it. Use a fork to shred the tender pork apart, but return it in the juices of the Crock Pot when you are done. This will give more flavor and preserve some of the tenderness.
